Ahh, the final cache of the day. After clearing out many a cache in and around the Forks, I decided to tackle one more cache on my way home. This cache in particular I was eyeing, since on the way to the Forks, this cache was SO close, but across the railroad tracks... which were of course fenced off all the way down Pembina. Hence, I made a note to myself to take a different route home so that I could find this one too.
So after biking down Osbourne and off down some residential roads, I started getting close to this one. And of course... when faced with a decision as to which side of the fence to go on, fate had me choose the wrong option . After biking to the coordinates and discovering I was exactly one fence away from getting the cache, I backtracked and took the correct path. Given I had gone so far by bike already that day, backtracking was about the last thing I wanted at that point . But... I'd come this far, there was no way I was going home without finding this fella.
And find it I did! Quite quickly in fact. I actually didn't even see it from the other side of the fence... but after searching for several minutes figured it must be on the other side. Probably a good thing I was right, otherwise I'd have had to backtrack AGAIN if I wasn't . But it was a good day all in all. 8 for 8 caches found and a ton of exercise (and a pretty good tan, unless I sunburned and it peels away over the next few days ). It's been a pretty productive day.
